HALF TIME
Richmond leads by 14 points, but it probably should be more.
The Tigers have been dominant around stoppages and have had 33 inside 50s to just 16, but have been wasteful in attack.
Bachar Houli is in hot water for a stray elbow to Jed Lamb, who did not return to the field.
Tony Shaw said it could cost him weeks.
“I don’t think one week is enough,” Shawry said.

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick spoke to 3AW before the game.
He said Tiger fans have every reason to be excited about the future of young prospects like Shai Bolton, Daniel Rioli, Dan Butler, and Jason Castagna.
“It’s going to take them two or three seasons to get up and going, but we’re really excited about what they can offer going forward,” Hardwick said.
